English as a global language has been learned by many non-native speakers in ever-mounting numbers. However, the dominant EFL teaching practices do not sufficiently benefit from the resourcefulness of non-native English speaker teachers (NNESTs) and their students. This presentation guides practitioners about how to empower resourceful local teachers and students through multiliteracies pedagogy. To illustrate it, the presenter is going to provide the participants with a lesson plan that focuses on the Pet Culture in the US, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey.
